    Abstract: A tool for loading a muzzle loading firearm is provided having a barrel clamp for attaching the tool near the tip of the barrel of the firearm. The tool includes a plunger having a concave shaped tip insertion end shaped to conform to a spherical ball firearm projectile. The tool is operable by a handle to forcibly press the projectile into the barrel of the gun. The tool uses lever principles to multiply the force applied to the plunger and projectile, reducing the strain and effort of the user in loading a projectile to a muzzle loaded firearm.
